What happened
Per a TrendForce post: blocked from NVIDIA's top AI chips, Chinese tech giants are turning to workstation GPUs instead, and the export-compliant RTX PRO 5500 is reportedly emerging as a sought-after alternative for AI inference. NVIDIA's China AI accelerator share may have plunged to nearly zero, but demand is reportedly roaring back: ByteDance and other tech giants have reportedly placed $35B in RTX PRO 5500 orders for AI inference, with shipments expected in early 2027. These are reported figures; the shipments remain a plan expected in early 2027 and have not yet occurred.
